Matter of Fact

Wikiing!

One of my favorite recreational activities is doing random research through Wikipedia — or what I like to call “Wikiing”. It can start with just about any topic — like the other day, when I wanted to learn more about my favorite screenwriter, Charlie Kaufman. I was reading about his newest film, “Synecdoche, New York”, which lead me to an article about the city of New York. I only browsed that briefly before thinking about the Gangs of New York. Although I was planning on reading about Daniel Day-Lewis, I ended up reading about alternative history in the formation of the colonial United States — some very trippy stuff that you wouldn’t find in your typical history text book. I’m addicted to learning and definitely an internet junkie — so in my downtime I love to just read and research on whatever strikes my fancy at the moment… and see where it goes!
